Friday The 13th Receives Sizeable Patch On Xbox One

Friday the 13th released on 26th May 2017, and by all accounts has been an extremely buggy experience. The Xbox One version has been particularly afflicted – apparently due to the delay of a Day One patch that was released to other platforms shortly after the game launched. Since that time, Illfonic and Gun Media have been receiving and responding to reports of numerous problems with the game – including visual glitches and lengthy matchmaking times.

In a post on their Facebook page, the developers have acknowledged the matchmaking problems and announced a patch that resolves a large number of the issues.

“Matchmaking – Due to a high number of users we are switching to a more robust matchmaking / system that will support a high number of players. We have made some changes to our current matchmaking system that should help reduce matchmaking times. We are currently working with Microsoft and moving over to a new system that will help reduce matchmaking times to more than acceptable times. We will have more information on that soon.
